3. Projects

News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.

 

4WARD – http://www.4ward.nu

Daniel Sebastião continued the work on the use-cases and for new ideas of dissemination. António Serrador and Luisa Caeiro attended the WP3 T3.3 meeting held at TELECOM-ParisTech in Paris, where handling mobility, dynamic aspects and providing intra- and inter-VNet RRM issues were presented and discussed. Luisa Caeiro and António Serrador have issued an initial document concerning Cooperative Virtual Resource Management concepts and algorithms. Filipe Cardoso is preparing the document on Physical Layer Awareness. Within WP5, Lucio Ferreira is currently working on Wireless Mesh Networks, having contributed to deliverable D5.1.0.

 

COST2100 – http://www.cost2100.org

Contributions to the next meeting are being prepared by Carla Oliveira.

 

eMobility – http://www.emobility.org

Work on the organisation of the next Workshop is ongoing.

 

 

monIT – http://www.lx.it.pt/monit

The team continued the information activities, with several actions being held in schools and universities. The preparation of the next years activities has already started.

 

NEWCOM++ – http://www.newcom-project.eu

António Serrador had a Skype meeting with Prof. Marco Moreti from Pisa University, Italy, where joint work and a short term mission by António Serrador to Pisa University was discussed. António Serrador and Nuno Cota attended the WP R.9 meeting and the N++ Dissemination Day event, in Barcelona, Spain where António Serrador presented the WG1 activity plan for the second year; they had also a few technical meetings with Bologna and Pisa Universities concerning Joint Radio Resource Management issues.

 

WIP – http://www.ist-wip.org

The project review was successful, and results were considered very good. All technical activities concerning the project are then closed.
